Tierra Tehuelche, Malbec 2011, a great name and terroir behind it


Tierra Tehuelche, Malbec 2011, By Bodega Tierra Tehuelche, USD 8

A Malbec from Senillosa City, Neuquen Province, North Patagonia. A spot of sandy terroir giving deeply concentrated and colored reds with more black cherries than anyone in Northpatagonia.
Deep blue with violet shades exposing a very young malbec. Nose full of sweet blueberries and black cherries, and always a violet perfume. Little if any oak stuff. Extremely young and somehow lactic but with great potential to improve, even from the vineyard on. An 84 point Malbec with way more room to improve and reach a great value. Lets see what the future brings. I personaly love the terroir, the design, and the respect this wine pays to the Tehuelches.
